Update from FanExpo 2024 Competition

Last summer I ran a little drawing competition at FanExpo in Toronto.  Draw a character doodle, and I'll turn the best ones into important characters in TOTM Season 3.  I got about 40-50 drawings, but three of them stood out.  I had to make some changes to them - the names for sure, and the general cute factor needed to be altered - but I did find a use for two out of three, so far:



The name Nacho is a no-go, but this is basically how I see elves. D'Reni and Tentir are in the show because of this sketch.  Apart from the hair... this is basically of how I see them, appearance-wise.



This is Midge.  I figured that no fairy would call themselves 'Midge' nor allow anyone else to call them that, but I liked the idea of fairies & sprites playing key roles in the narrative. The encounter where Tentir gets cursed is just a taste - there's another important moment coming up in the next few months. 




This guy, Zom... I know how to use him, but we haven't met him yet.  Interestingly, the name 'Zom' would work as-is, but in order to make some lore elements 'click' better, I have changed it.  Watch out for a powerful hooded mage somewhere down the road...

TOTM is Number 1 for Solo RPG Podcasts on Feedspot!

 This actually happened a couple of weeks ago, but I was unable to update the blog at the time. Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen!






Back in Canada & Shownotes for Episodes 13,14,15,16

 I'm back home and feeling a little bittersweet about it.  It's nice to be back at the mic though.  While I've been away, I did not post shownotes, so here's a batch of them for the last 4 episodes:

Blog Posts on Hold for the Next Few Weeks

Hola everyone, 

I'm off to Mexico to escape the rest of the Canadian winter, so all Shownotes for episodes 13-17 will be delayed until I get back in March.  At that time I'll release them in a batch.

Other uploads (the occasional table, etc) may or may not happen on time; I'll do what I can.

All actual podcast episode releases should happen on time, as well as mirror YouTube uploads, but, if there are errors in the audio, I won't be able to fix them until after I return.

So long... I'll drink a tequila for ya :)
